Mental, emotional, physical health all have evidence mounting up to show just how Gut Health, how our intestinal microbe diversity impact our well being. This articles information underscores how important it is to support properly grown foods to feed the microbes who eat healthy fare to feed us and keep us healthy. In our Germophobic Nation our current toxic sea not only sometimes outright kills our gut microbes it also starves them, (and us,) due to the missing minerals, and plant compounds created by microbes that also feed the plants that in turn feed gut microbes to feed us.

The notion microbes are all germs has been a foundation for an excuse to throw whatever into the environment whether through Industrial Farming or Industry. Currently there are bills being promoted to protect the health destroying chem's much like the No Liability Vaxxx's have hid behind.

The monopolies pumping out toxic, chemical soaked empty calories will pull out every trick in their bag of tricks to maintain their Ca$$$h Cow$$$. (No pun intended.) We have to do the right thing - Locally, or whatever we can do to support such efforts.

We will have to turn what we have been indoctrinated to be "the Only Way "We" can feed the World upside down to make things actually right side up! Just Sayn'

Synbiotics are a combination of prebiotics and probiotics with synergistic effects, providing live microorganisms and a growth substrate for beneficial bacteria. These combinations improve bowel movement frequency and consistency, as well as reduce the severity of hemorrhoidal symptoms.

Prebiotics are non-digestible substances found in foods such as dietary fiber, especially from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.

Probiotics are foods containing live microorganisms, such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi.

Symbiotic foods combine prebiotic and probiotic ingredients to enhance their positive effects. Fiber and breast milk are the primary and most important examples.

In addition, postbiotics (metabolic byproducts of probiotics) have potential therapeutic properties. Postbiotics (short-chain fatty acids, bacteriocins, and exopolysaccharides) have anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and trophic effects on the intestinal epithelium. These properties help relieve constipation and hemorrhoidal symptoms. Postbiotics (metabolic byproducts of probiotics) have potential therapeutic properties. Postbiotics (short-chain fatty acids, bacteriocins, and exopolysaccharides) possess anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and trophic effects on the intestinal epithelium.

Furthermore, the composition of the gut microbiota plays an important role in metabolic disorders. Dysbiosis, or an imbalance of microorganisms in the gut microbiota associated with metabolic disorders, can potentially be modulated by probiotics or prebiotics. Several studies have demonstrated the therapeutic effects of prebiotics and probiotics on intestinal diseases, BMI, waist circumference, and body fat accumulation, which are associated with cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and neurological problems, among others. They stimulate the growth and reproduction of beneficial gut microbiota, inhibiting the colonization of pathogenic bacteria, which is essential for optimal intestinal normalization. Probiotics and their metabolites (particularly short-chain fatty acids) have emerged as potential preventative and adjuvant treatments by restoring the balance of the gut microbiota, reducing inflammation, stimulating the immune response, and improving intestinal barrier integrity and intestinal epithelial homeostasis through modulation of autophagy. https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/10/6/1151 (2022).----
